CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. l.-The Turk

Uunorhlssar from tho Bulgarians and also
has defeated tho Bulgarians In the vicin
ity of Visa, according to dispatches re

forces. Nazlm's dispatches declare tho
Bulgarian losses were heavy and that all
the Tuklsh army corps have now been

LONDON. Nov. a. The Turkish army.
on which the fato of the Ottoman empire
depended, has been outgeneraled and out
fouglit. It has made what Is believed to
be the last stand against the victorious
Bulgarians and Is now falHng back In
disorder on Its final base of defense at
the forts of Tchatalja, twenty-five miles
from Constantinople.
Grave doutert are expressed In military
circle's and repeated even In the Turkish
capital, as to whether the remnants of
ihe Immenso army of the sultan will
. make any serious attempt to hold this
line.
Foreigners In Constantinople are fear
ful for the safety of tho Christian popula
tions of the Turkish towns and tho ISu
ropcan powers have taken stops In this
connection by dispatch of warships to
Salonlkl, ' Constantinople and other
Turkish ports for tho protection of their
subjects.
This Is tho most pressing question of
the moment. One correspondent In Con
stantinople voices the fear of Europeans
In that city that the Turkish retreat from
Tchatalja might result In massacres and
pillage by what 1b jio longer an army but
a mob.
Old residents of Constantinople who
know tho Turks thoroughly say foreign
Salonlkl,- Constantinople and other ports,
but declare the widely scattered missions
and Christian populations aro already
seriously endangered.
. The Bulgarian troops who have shown
such dash slince the opening of the
campaign are not likely to give the
Turks much time to reorganize. It Is
true they have hundreds of dead and
wounded, both Turks and Bulgarians, to
dispose of, and this must, according to
military experts, delay them somewhat.
They had, however, similar difficulties
to contend against after Klrk-Klllsseh

Serious Friction

WASHINGTON, Nov. l.-None of the
higher officers of the army and navy

They have made oery preparation to
meet a serious outbreak In tho Island,

these plans. ,'
State department advices today were
-that the activities of th-j rural guard had
already .pojfcd asourco of friction be-1

develop to the danger point near night.
The liberal party today demanded of
President Gomez that ho Immediately
order- all of these rurales awav from tho
polling places throughout the Island and
demanded tho Immediate dismissal of
General Monteagudo, commander-tn-chlef
of tho rural gua, d. As President Gomez
has come to feel himself more dependent
for his personal safety on tho guard than
on tho regular army, ho has eo far re

undoubtedly critical, notwithstanding the
outward appearance of tranquillity
throughout the Island.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l.-Corropora-ttvo
In every essential tfctall tho story of
the discovery of blonde Eskimo tribes re
cently given tho world of science by
WUhJalmr Stcffansson, hts partnor In
Arctlo cxporatlon, Dr. Rudolph Martin
Anderson of Forest City, la., arrived hem
today on tho whaler Belvedere after four
and a half years In the north. IIo was
accompanied by Prof. K. Do Koven Let
flngwell of Pasadena, Cnl., who has spent
threo and a half years making observa
tions In tho vicinity of tho Flaxman Is
lands and surveying and mapping about
160 miles of the coast line.
"It was over In tho Capo Bexley terri
tory, on tho mainland, and on Prlrico Al
bert sound, across to tho south of tho
Dolphin and Union straits, that Stcffans
son, first got into touch with the blonde
oborlginca," said Or. Anderson. "In the
spring of 1910 wo lost most of our dogs
while at Cape Barry, Langton bay and
Franklin bay, whoro we had wintered.
Stcffansson and I parted company, he
leaving with two Ksklmos for the east,
while I pushed on to tho Mackenzie delta
for supplies. Wo met ngaln at Langtpn
bay In tho autumn of 1910 and ho told mo
of tho queer trlbo ho had discovered.
ilnrd Journey Accomplished,
"In December we started out and wero
thlrty-ono days crossing 300 miles of the
worst strip of land wo ever encountered.
We explored tho Uttlo known Hprton
river and mado records and compass cal
culations, his Is one of the largest rivers
flowing Into tho Arctic. Wo wore going
through the barren grounds and putting
In o supply of caribou for our dash for
Coronation bay In the spring. From Deaso
river to tho DiBmal lake country1 and to
the Coppermine river and Coronation
bay was our course, the last seventy-flvo
miles over the Ice, before wo found these
strange people.
First wo came on a deserted snow vil
lage andrnally' found ah Inhabited .vil
lage wtlh a population of forty .souh ,
"Many of tho men had light mUsta'clioif
and bears and light hair covering their
heads. Tho eyebrows of these men were
light and their eyes wero light. Home of
tho women not all--had fair skin and
rosy cheeks, but their hair 'was dark,
oily and tangled.
"There wero none of the flat nosed
Eskimos of tho truo Mongolian typo
among theso people. Tholr features boro J
the characteristics of the Caucasian race.
They do not know where they came from
and no ono elso knows.
Tribe Keeps No Records.
"They have no records, no history, no
legends and their language, a peculiar
tribal dialect, was extremely hard to
understand. As to their origin, thero can
be only a guess. They may bo survivors
of tho expedition of Sir John Franklin
lost to the east of their present locality
in 1S10 or thereabouts, or they may bo
descendants of tho Inhabitants of un early
Icelandic colony.
"Among theso people thero Is no hope,
no thought worth registering, no Ideals,
no particular purpose In life. For six
months of the year they simply exlet,
living In snow houses and eating seal
meat. In tho summer time they move to
the' main land and subsist on caribou
meat. They have no religion and no mar
rlugn ceremony, although there Is fidelity
as a tribal characteristic. Through other
cnklmos they do some trading, but pre
cious little.
"Stffansson had seen about 260 more of
theso people In his summer trip. He
found the conditions about the samo an
thoso I observed. The people we dis
covered aro extremely primitive, having
no modern Implements of any kind and
no modern weapons. They hunt with it
crudo bow and arrow and spear fish
through holes In tho Ico. They cook their
food. In kindling a flro they strike two
crystallzed stones together."
Dr. Anderson brings back hundreds of
specimens of animals, birds, fishes and
minerals which will bo divided between
the dominion gcogologlcal survey at
Ottawa. Canada and the American
Amuseum of Natural History In New
York. Ho has thlrty-flvo specimens of
caribou.

Harvester company today that more than
half of $335 spont lor machinery on ft
typical Minnesota farm of 17J acres went
for implements and binder twine whW

A mass of figures was submitted hv
Prof. Jtihn Lee Coulter of tho federal
bureau of census at Washington showing
that thero were about 0,30,000 farms In
the nation,, containing some 47i.452.0M
acres of tilled land.
From 1899 to 1909 tho sale of agricultural
Implements In this country Increased from
.ol.l07,4M to ! 106,329,268, or 44.6 per cent, he
said. In that time, ho added, there wan
a decrease In tho wheat acreage of 8,32C,0OJ
acres, or 16 per cent, ilarley and oats,
lr. the same period, increased 19 and 73
per cent, respectively.

In wheat and 4,176,000 acres In oats. Iowa,
the statistics showed, had the largest
hay and forage crops, with Now York
second and Nebraska third.
Prof. Coultor said 'that In 1900 ho was
employed as an export mechanician by
the McCormlck Harvester company In
Mlnnosota, He said thero was keen
competition among the harvest manu
facturers In those days. Thero was no
charge made for labor In making repairs
and an allowance was mado for old
machines traded In for new. He said tho
prices varied from time to time to moot
competition.
Since tho formation of tho Interna
tional Harvester company In 1902 thero
had been less variation in prices and the
practice of making repairs, and allowing
tho trading In of old machines had been
discontinued, the witness asserted.

terminated without uny otnor act or pro

Incompatibility Is whether the naturo and

render It Improper, from considerations
of publlo policy, for the incumbent to
retain both.
Where It appears that acts or events
have occurred rendering an office vacant,
tho authority having tho power to fill

the grounds that a new party could not
